DIN 54345-2 Electrostatic Behavior - Determination of Load Produced by Textile Carpets by Walking Test

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of DIN 54345-2 testing. The test mentioned in the title, the "walk test," is typically a method for determining how much static electricity is generated when a person walks on a textile floor covering.

This can be important in many environments, such as electronics manufacturing facilities or areas with flammable gases, where static electricity can cause problems or pose a safety risk.

In practice, the charge of a material is determined by both its chargeability and its ability to discharge through the material's resistance. To evaluate the electrostatic behavior of a material in most cases, the resistive flux predominates, in addition to the charge, the surface resistivity ROT according to DIN 54345 Part 1 and the volume resistivity RDT or the resistivity RST according to DIN are measured. The measurement can be determined according to the current standard 54345 Part 5.

The capacity of test equipment can also be affected by the environment (eg people within the shaft or earthed objects). If the tester is used in a different environment, the capacity must therefore be redetermined.
